Lest we forget

“But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await [the coming of] the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Savior,”

Philippians 3:20 AMP 

The resurrection of Christ brings to the world a new way of living ; a brand new hope for the future , a secure present and a forgiven past. I always wonder about those who haven't put their faith in Christ, concerning their hope. These are blind to what really matters and here is how Apostle Paul puts it across; 

“For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).” Philippians 3:18 

If man doesn't live for God , he will find something else to live for. Shameful things become the pinnacle of their focus. Their gaze is on temporal, earthly things that come with their perishing , nothing they represent has eternal value. They celebrate evil and invent ways of unrighteousness, there is no God in their minds. They oppose the way of grace. But you are not that way , you know the grace that is in our Lord Jesus Christ. 

The cross represents the grace of Christ, it is a bridge to a brand new life , the life of ultimate freedom. Understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ takes a willingness to have a renewed mind. It takes realizing that you are now different, your location might be the same but your citizenship has changed. 

You are now from another kingdom and the King of that place is Jesus and He has made you an ambassador!! He has given you His Spirit to live within you. He has given you His word to guide you. But He is not staying too long : He is coming back again. By the power of His Spirit , He will transform our earthly suits into a glorious body like His own!! 

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

I pray this stirs up in you the truth about the reality of our gospel. I remind you , lest we forget what we are all about. God bless you. 

Remember: You are dearly loved by God❤️
